Reaction of prion protein with quinacrine
Zawada, Zbigniew ; Šafařík, Martin ; Šebestík, Jaroslav ; Stibor, Ivan ; Bouř, Petr
Prion protein is supposed to cause Creutzfeld–Jakob disease, which can be treated in cell culture by quinacrine. In this work we study acridinylation reaction of prion protein. We also investigate this reaction theoretically on simple models and calculate activation energies for a large ensemble of acridine derivatives. Found correlation between the reactivity and geometry can enhance the design of the new acridine compounds, particularly for medical purposes.
